Is the CSS on the Wiki different to normal CSS in any way? I know a little CSS so I though I would decorate my userpage, but I didnt know if it was different on here. Thanks! <scratchsig>Bananaandchoc1</scratchsig> 19:39, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Personally I think that you should add in the <nowiki><!----text----!> (not sure what they're called :P)</nowiki> that the user is free to look at the page source. It's fine if you don't want to, I just didn't add it in because I'd be breaking userspace rules.<scratchsig>Garnetluvcookie</scratchsig> 18:48, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi and congratulations on your promotion! I'm here to give you a sort-of introduction to the admin role.
 +
 
 +
=== Your new permissions ===
 +
[[Special:ListGroupRights#sysop|These]] are permissions you now have. A lot of them are irrelevant to this wiki because we don't use the features that entail them, but admins have them because those permissions are granted to sysops (underlying technical name for admins, in case you didn't know) by default. Instead I'll go over the ones I can think of off the top of my head that are useful, and/or the ones we actually use here.
 +
* <code>protect</code>: This is the most significant one here, I think. You can now protect pages by choosing "Protect" from the pencil menu. (No more asking someone to protect your archives - you are the someone!) Our protection levels are:
 +
** (none): All users can edit.
 +
** <code>autoconfirmed</code>: All users can edit, but they get a big banner saying "you are editing a protected page" that can be indimidating and might make them consider their edits more carefully.
 +
** <code>wikian</code>: All [[S:WIKIAN|Wikians]] can edit. This is most users, but some are in fact restricted. Used on guidelines pages and their kin.
 +
** <code>botplus</code>: Bots, EWs, and admins can edit. Used on pages that should really be protected at EWplus but also need bots to update them regularly, like [[S:NEWS]].
 +
** <code>EWplus</code>: Only EWs and admins can edit. This is the level we use most often - used for talk page and [[S:TT]] archives.
 +
** <code>sysop</code>: Only admins can edit. This is the level you have recently accessed - used for very high traffic pages such as the main page, its redirects, most of its transclusions, and some high-use templates. (Also apparently used for old talk page archives, probably before EWplus was introduced.) (The permission that allows you to edit this is <code>editprotected</code>.)
 +
* <code>editinterface</code>: You can now edit [[Special:AllMessages|pages in the MediaWiki: namespace]]. These pages control the text in the actual wiki interface - for example, the text of the "save changes" button is controlled by [[MediaWiki:Savechanges]]. You can find out what pages control what text on a certain page by adding the query parameter <code>uselang=qqx</code> to the page URL.
 +
* <code>abusefilter-</code>*: You can now edit [[Special:AbuseFilter]]&zwj;s, which among other things include the bad word filter. Be very careful with these, because a wrong move can lock even admins out of doing something. Jvvg and I know the most about these.
 +
* <code>undelete</code>: You can now restore pages. This is seldom used but it has come in useful at times.
 +
* <code>deleterevision</code>, <code>deletelogentry</code>: You can now hide (and unhide) specific revisions of a page, without deleting the entire page. You can also do the same for [[Special:Log]] entries. This is mostly used for hiding personal information, but has sometimes been used for vandalism as well. (No need to ask someone to do this anymore!)
 +
* <code>deletedhistory</code>, <code>deletedtext</code>: You can now see all deleted revisions as if they were still there.
 +
Basically, a lot fewer permissions are withheld from you now.
 +
 
 +
=== Permissions still withheld ===
 +
Here's a few that remain reserved for bureaucrats, though. I mention these only because they actually are given to admins by default, but are not on this wiki.
 +
* <code>block</code>: Self-explanatory. Used for vandalism and occasionally for accidentally-created accounts.
 +
* <code>checkuser</code>, <code>checkuser-log</code>: View IP addresses and other information about an account. Used for alt detection.
 +
* <code>editaccount</code>: Set users' email addresses, passwords, and real names. This is what I have been using to handle account request troubles.
 +
 
 +
=== Invitation ===
 +
Alright, I know I've asked you this before, but this time I have to be a little more demanding than before. Please join our Discord server - you're an admin now, and a lot of our admin coordination (including the discussion that got you promoted) happens there. You'll miss out on a lot of things (many of which would probably need your opinion) if you're not there. I've left my details in [{{fullurl:Special:Undelete|target=User:Kenny2scratch/For_Admins&timestamp=20200803112217}} a deleted page] so that only admins (including you now!) can see it. Send me a friend request, and I'll DM you an invite link.
 +
 
 +
=== Conclusion ===
 +
Congratulations on your promotion! You have been the most consistently good editor I've ever seen, and I hope that this will let you do even better. Wiki on!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 11:32, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

==Can't Find My Wiki Page==
 +
I started writing my own article based on the website https://scratchstats.com/, but I cannot seem to find it, because when I type up the title of it ('Scratch Stats'), it keeps on directing to a different page... I think I need help to rename it.... but I still need ot find it. Do you think you can help with this?

::As per Jammum. Unfortunately, ScratchStats.com is user-generated content. Thanks for wanting to improve the wiki, though! {{e|:)}}<br/>{{User:Bigpuppy/Real Signature}} 14:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

== Userpage needs updating ==
 +
 
 +
Since you became an admin (Congrats!), you haven't updated your user page to show that. "I'm an Experienced Wikian here, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!" should be "I'm an admin here, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!". (Also, I know my custom sig is a bit lower than usual. I'm fixing it once I submit. Or it's not {{e|:P}})<br /><br/>

Please check if your question is answered here before asking it!

How did you make your sidebar?
This was probably the most common question I used to get when I still had my sidebar. If you still want to know, though: Much of the code is based off of GlassGalaxy's old sidebar. For that reason, and because I made it a long time ago, I'm not qualified to explain how it works. However, feel free to look at the code of it by clicking the edit button on its page (just don't submit the edit!).
How do I use the "talk" feature of the wiki?
View Help:Welcome/4 for a detailed explanation.
I'm a New Wikian. Do you have any tips?
Yes! Visit User:Bigpuppy/New Wikian Tips.
How do you find new users?
Go to the User Creation Log.
How do you color text?
You can use <span style="color:COLOR">TEXT</span>.
For example, <span style="color:purple">Hello!</span> makes Hello!
How do you have text pop when you hover over certain text (otherwise known as "talking through your mouse")?
Use <span title="MOUSE TEXT">DISPLAY TEXT</span>.
For example, <span title="Talking through your mouse!">Hello!</span> makes Hello!
I want a welcome template.
Go to User:Bigpuppy/PW for an easy-to-use welcome template creation system that I made!
Can you delete/protect my page?
Yes. I don't mind if you ask here, though you may wish to use the {{delete}} template, {{protect}} template or S:CPSYS instead.
How do I become a Wikian?
Anyone who edits the wiki is a Wikian. If you're referring to the usergroup (i.e. as opposed to a New Wikian), you can see the requirements at Scratch Wiki:Wikians.
How do I become an Experienced Wikian?
Experienced Wikians are elected every so often.

If you have any questions that aren't covered here (or you'd like a more detailed answer), click "Leave a comment" below!


Reminder text with lightning.png Important: You will need to watch my talk page if you want to get notified when I respond to you (pencil icon > watch). I will always respond to you on my talk page unless you ask me otherwise. Thanks!

Small addition to userpage

Personally I think that you should add in the <!----text----!> (not sure what they're called :P) that the user is free to look at the page source. It's fine if you don't want to, I just didn't add it in because I'd be breaking userspace rules.

As an admin

Hi and congratulations on your promotion! I'm here to give you a sort-of introduction to the admin role.

Your new permissions

These are permissions you now have. A lot of them are irrelevant to this wiki because we don't use the features that entail them, but admins have them because those permissions are granted to sysops (underlying technical name for admins, in case you didn't know) by default. Instead I'll go over the ones I can think of off the top of my head that are useful, and/or the ones we actually use here.

  • protect: This is the most significant one here, I think. You can now protect pages by choosing "Protect" from the pencil menu. (No more asking someone to protect your archives - you are the someone!) Our protection levels are:
    • (none): All users can edit.
    • autoconfirmed: All users can edit, but they get a big banner saying "you are editing a protected page" that can be indimidating and might make them consider their edits more carefully.
    • wikian: All Wikians can edit. This is most users, but some are in fact restricted. Used on guidelines pages and their kin.
    • botplus: Bots, EWs, and admins can edit. Used on pages that should really be protected at EWplus but also need bots to update them regularly, like S:NEWS.
    • EWplus: Only EWs and admins can edit. This is the level we use most often - used for talk page and S:TT archives.
    • sysop: Only admins can edit.

These pages control the text in the actual wiki interface - for example, the text of the "save changes" button is controlled by MediaWiki:Savechanges. You can find out what pages control what text on a certain page by adding the query parameter uselang=qqx to the page URL.
  • abusefilter-*: You can now edit Special:AbuseFilter‍s, which among other things include the bad word filter. Be very careful with these, because a wrong move can lock even admins out of doing something. Jvvg and I know the most about these.
  • undelete: You can now restore pages. This is seldom used but it has come in useful at times.
  • deleterevision, deletelogentry: You can now hide (and unhide) specific revisions of a page, without deleting the entire page. You can also do the same for Special:Log entries. This is mostly used for hiding personal information, but has sometimes been used for vandalism as well. (No need to ask someone to do this anymore!)
  • deletedhistory, deletedtext: You can now see all deleted revisions as if they were still there.

Basically, a lot fewer permissions are withheld from you now.

Permissions still withheld

Here's a few that remain reserved for bureaucrats, though. I mention these only because they actually are given to admins by default, but are not on this wiki.

  • block: Self-explanatory. Used for vandalism and occasionally for accidentally-created accounts.
  • checkuser, checkuser-log: View IP addresses and other information about an account. Used for alt detection.

You'll miss out on a lot of things (many of which would probably need your opinion) if you're not there. I've left my details in a deleted page so that only admins (including you now!) can see it. Send me a friend request, and I'll DM you an invite link.

Conclusion

Congratulations on your promotion! You have been the most consistently good editor I've ever seen, and I hope that this will let you do even better. Wiki on!

Can't Find My Wiki Page

I started writing my own article based on the website https://scratchstats.com/, but I cannot seem to find it, because when I type up the title of it ('Scratch Stats'), it keeps on directing to a different page... I think I need help to rename it.... but I still need ot find it. Do you think you can help with this?

The page was changed into a redirect for Scratch Statistics because a page on scratchstats.com would violate one of the Wiki Guidelines.

As per Jammum. Unfortunately, ScratchStats.com is user-generated content. Thanks for wanting to improve the wiki, though! :)

Oh... Shame. I'll have to find something else to write about, then! Thank You anyways!

Userpage needs updating

Since you became an admin (Congrats!), you haven't updated your user page to show that. "I'm an Experienced Wikian here, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!" should be "I'm an admin here, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!". (Also, I know my custom sig is a bit lower than usual. I'm fixing it once I submit. Or it's not :P)

Bigpuppy is still an Experienced Wikian, so the statement is still true. Bigpuppy became an admin, but also he is still an EW - because of the elections.
